Exclusive: MP3: Monster Bobby: "Silent Night"

I must admit that "Silent Night" is one of my least favorite holiday tunes, but Monster Bobby, principal songwriter for the Pipettes and recent Hypnote Recording Concern signee, has saved the world from another mundane, traditional version of the track. Bobby's take is available for free download below.

Here, "Silent Night" is pulsating and fuzzy. There's even a squeaky noise similar to the sound that's made by blowing on a blade of grass held between your thumbs. Unfortunately, Bobby's voice is high-pitched and whiny.

Monster Bobby's version of "Silent Night" is included on the compilation Christmas Crackers on the Sellotapes label. It's available exclusively through the label's MySpace page. All proceeds from the disc go to the Shelter charity.
